The Seafood, Wine, and Music Festival is once again returning to Panama City Beach, October 8-10, at Frank Brown Park. This year's festival will feature FREE wine tastings, celebrity chef exhibitions from local chefs, amazing food from local restaurants, and more than 75 retail, antique and art vendors. Don't miss a sneak peek at the Emerald Coast Cruizin' car show!

New this year, all of the kids' activities are going green! Diesel-powered midway rides have been replaced with all environmentally friendly amusements. Children will love meeting Spongebob Squarepants, who will be available during lunch on Saturday and Sunday.

The music line-up this year is phenomenal: Lorrie Morgan and the Bellamy Brothers on Friday, REO Speedwagon on Saturday, and Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Little River Band on Sunday.

Ticket prices vary by day. Children are free all days until 4:00 p.m.; afterward they will require a $7 kid's ticket. General admission for Friday is $20 and $15 on Saturday. Sunday has two ticket options — $15 from Noon-5:00 p.m. and $25 for all-day general admission. One-day VIP passes are available each day for $150, and a one-day VIP pass with a guaranteed meet-and-greet with the band is $250 each day.
